Its version evolution is more complex than Maotai: Jiaobei brand, crystal glass, plastic cap, aluminum plastic cap, new and old crystal bottles... Each version has a corresponding market value. Below is a summary of common versions.

  • Seal Type: Cork + wax seal, red plastic, aluminum-plastic, screw metal, evolved by era.

  • Liquid Level: The older it is, the more attention should be paid to evaporation; above the shoulder is preferred.

The difficulty of authenticating Wuliangye is comparable to Maotai, with fakes concentrated in versions from the 1980s–1990s. It is recommended to seek an appraisal before deciding.

Common FAQs

How to distinguish authenticity?

We inspect multiple features such as the bottle body, spray code, anti-counterfeit label, bottle cap, and effervescence. We have experience in authenticating old wines from reputable manufacturers, and we clarify the authenticity on-site.

Wuliangye | Recycled Premium Wine | New and old customers are welcome to call for inquiries. Do "running wine" or bottle cap leakage have a significant impact?

They have a significant impact. Baijiu relies on the bottle opening for sealing. "Running wine" causes loss of volume and aroma, which will significantly reduce the price. Slight leakage needs to be assessed bottle by bottle.

Should the original box, ribbon, and spray code be kept?

Yes. The original box, ribbon, anti-counterfeit spray code, and production date are important bases for authentication and valuation. Completeness will significantly add value.

Why are old vintage Baijiu (e.g., old Maotai) so valuable?

There are few vintage premium wines in existence, but demand is high. Early vintage Maotai, Wuliangye, etc., with the original box, ribbon, and spray code intact, see their recycling price significantly increase with age.
